About
Adolf Hitler led the Nazi Party and became German chancellor in 1933. After President Hindenburg died in 1934, Hitler joined the presidency and chancellorship under the title Führer.
The Nazi state required soldiers and many public workers to swear personal loyalty to Hitler. The initials A.H. in these exchanges name him.
In this interview
The speakers use A.H. or AH while discussing Hitler’s orders, speeches, personal authority, and oaths sworn to him.
Read with care
A.H. and AH are short and aren’t linked automatically. The glossary treats them as Hitler only where the nearby words settle the name.
